Bio:

Loverboy is a Canadian rock group formed in 1979 in Calgary, Alberta. Throughout the 1980s, the band accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. After being rejected by many American record labels, they signed with Columbia/CBS Records Canada and began recording their first album March 20, 1980, with Mike Reno (born in New Westminster, B.C. January 8, 1955 and previously with Moxy as Mike Rynoski) on lead vocals, Paul Dean (born in Vancouver, B.C. on February 19, 1946; previously with Streetheart and Scrubbaloe Caine) on guitars and vocals, Jim Clench (formerly of April Wine and BTO, who was born in Montreal May 1, 1949 but was quickly replaced by Scott Smith born in Winnipeg, MB on February 13, 1955) on bass guitar, Doug Johnson (born in New Westminster December 19, 1957) on keyboards, and Matt Frenette (born in Calgary on March 7, 1954) on drums (also a former Streetheart alumnus). The band's hit singles, particularly "Turn Me Loose" and "Working for the Weekend", have become arena rock staples and are still heard on many classic rock and classic hits radio stations across the United States and Canada. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Album:

CD1 - Keep It Up (1983)

2-in1 CD remastered reissue of LOVERBOY third and fourth albums: "Keep It Up / Lovin' Every Minute Of It". You can find "Loverboy / Get Lucky" here.Following up their first two multi-platinum albums, with third effort "Keep It Up" Loverboy continued their road to 80's arena rock / AOR superstars.Despite "Keep It Up" spawned 4 hit singles and went platinum, this is one of the less known Loverboy albums and yes, you guessed it, one of their best.Not only in the songwriting department, but also in its purest first half of the '80s AOR sound / production.I always divided "Keep It Up" in two parts: the first 4 songs are typical feel-good AOR with the catchy 'Hot Girls In Love' being the highlight and the killer 'Strike Zone' showing a more 'rocking' side.Then the remaining 5 cuts represents the more consistent material Loverboy ever placed into a single album.All these are true gems, starting with the superb 'Queen Of The Broken Hearts', which in my opinion is the best Loverboy song of all time, a more complex animal than anything recorded by the band before. It's the surprisingly observant tale of a woman reluctant to fall in love that plays out over a hook-laden midtempo tune that plays off meditative guitar-laden verses against a synth-driven chorus that suddenly accelerates the tempo to an almost dance level.Then there's Doug Johnson’s hypnotic keyboard riff in 'Prime Of Your Life'. I always loved this song and still is one of my '80s favs. Combining AOR hooks with a lush instrumental treatment, this track is pure class.You also have an elaborated approach on 'One Sided Love Affair' built on stately, almost classical synthesizer riffs, a song which I found very Foreigner-like at their best.'Meltdown' is another tune in this artsy vein: it's a slow rocker that merge the heaviest guitar riffs on the album with layered synth parts reminiscent of Rush."Keep It Up" is Loverboy's most consistent album. There's hooks aplenty, but also wonderfully crafted compositions arranged and performed with care. Production is top notch, handled by talented guitarist Paul Dean and master Bruce Fairbairn (who also co-wrote a couple of songs).The fact that "Keep It Up" has been quite hard to find in recent years makes this BGO remaster even more appealing.

CD2 - Lovin' Every Minute Of It (1985)

Remastered reissue of LOVERBOY's third and fourth albums: "Keep It Up / Lovin' Every Minute Of It". You can find "Loverboy / Get Lucky" here.Loverboy perfected a multi-platinum formula with its first three albums, each of which cracked the Top 20 in the U.S. as well as the band’s native Canada. With their fourth release, 1985’s "Lovin’ Every Minute Of It", they wanted a fresh sound according to times.After working with Bruce Fairbairn for five years, the band hired British Tom Allom and brought his whole new crew from England. Additionally, Loverboy decided to work with outside songwriters.Hitmaker Robert John "Mutt" Lange provided the awesome anthemic title track specially penned for them, 'Dangerous' is a Bryan Adams / Jim Vallance co-write arranged with a marvelous melody, while the terrific keyboard-filled AOR of 'This Could Be The Night' wasn't completed until Journey ivory player Jonathan Cain came in to add a fresh perspective, resulting in a right out of the Journey-songbook tune, and of course, a hit.'Steal The Thunder' owns a monster hook, and 'Friday Night' is a fantastic melodic rocker with an addictive chorus where Mike Reno vocals shine The guitar / keyboard interplay of 'Lead A Double Life' is pure '80s, as well as the elaborated harmony / backing vocals featuring some renowned singers such as Canadian Marc LaFrance and Jaime St. James (Black 'n Blue).The album closes on a heavier note with 'Bullet In The Chamber', a vehicle for Paul Dean's skilled guitar work.This BGO remaster is really, really good. If previous album Keep It Up was Loverboy's most inspired moment in terms of songwriting, "Lovin' Every Minute Of It" is their more commercial, 'AOR sounding' album ever. It was 1985, and alongside the crisp vocal treatment the guitar presence is equally on par with the keyboards flurry.Production is polished, clean and punchy in a perfect a US / Canadian AOR fashion, a wet dream for any fan of the genre.
